Default Combining cell reference with text


I know how to use the & symbol to combine cell references with text, but
i am having trouble getting this to work when the 2 cells i am
referencing are dates.

For instance, lets say cell A1 is 11/15/05, and cell A2 is 3/21/06 and
i would like cell A3 to say November - 05 to March - 06. I have tried

=A1&" to "&A2

But i keep getting a #value error, any ideas?
